I have small area that was effected by a wing window leak that caused some discoloration and delamination. 95% of the trim is OK. I was thinking of addressing the delamination, applying a complementary stain color and hitting all the trim with a lite coat of satin. I really don't want to pull...

I have all four of the chrome pieces that fit between the seats and rails. When the FO replaced the deteriorating OE seats with later horizontal pleat models (not much better!), he pulled the chrome pieces off and did not replace them. They are intact, but with little chrome left. I have my old...

My front aluminum kidney trim piece is the victim of some long ago crunch. It is not bad, but is just not going to work after my respray. I don't know how successful one can be in straightening these pieces. New ones are well over $400. Anyone have a straight one they are willing to part with...

I am now 55. The following is part of a post I sent last year that explains my early and continuing fondness for the Beemer badge: I was in high school in 1972 and one of my friends had his mom's Bavaria out on Friday night. Bear in mind that this is Oklahoma City; not too many Beemers...

The true heir to the E9 is the 6 series coupe, but I just never warmed to them after some initial tingles. Price will numb the tingles. I really like the 335 with the mechanical top. Anyone know if those tops are problematic after 50k miles or so?

After 3 weeks in the rehab facility, I am now back home and preparing to begin a 6 week course of chemo and radiation. I really do appreciate all the positive vibes from the forum. I should have a beautiful repaint on my coupe pretty soon to give me that incentive to be back driving soon...

Thanks coupers Made it out of ICU as a model patient. Patholgy was not what we wanted, so we are going to need some further treatments and some rehab for that accelerator foot. But, as coupe folks know, everything is in a constant state of rehab. Thanks for the support! Still in icu, but...

I have my 2800 cs at the paint shop right now and am seriously thinking about a delete on the 2800 cs badge. Mine is a mutt with a late model 3.3 engine, later version 20 spoke wheels and likely a few other non-OE's by the time it is over. No badge options on Bimmers and Cedes is pretty...

My coupe had a retrofit electric pump mounted pretty much where your second, larger, filter is located. You might be able to mount there also and pull power from the fuse box. However, I had problems with fuel flow also (as Jerry "Porsche61" can attest) and moved the pump to the back near the...

I got a used set of OEM 14" 20 spokes from Peter @Coupeking. A little clean-up and a shot of satin black on the centers and I am in business. I put the old five-spokes in the attic. I like the little BMW caps in the center of the newer wheels in your pic. Peter gave some Alpina caps that are OK...

You tell 'em Gianini! I can't think of a better encapsulation of the "good life": " I enjoy good health and have an economic dignity to allow that some travel the world ... I consider myself lucky... I can afford to think about the stupid things in life. "

Seat Belt Holder Interested. Pics would be nice.

Take if from a guy that went in too fast without proper consideration of what is necessary to stabilize the body and bring an E9 just to a nice driver status. I came in at nearly $12K also and that has proven to be a fairly rarified basis to start a project. Stay patient and wait. Look at...

If the same as the coupe tank, how did you handle the fuel guage? Is it built into the sending/pump unit?

I had a 1981 Mazda 626 coupe. I bought it at the time because I really liked my parent's BMW 2002. I needed a newer reliable car. The style is also reminiscent of the BMW coupes: http://www.cargurus.com/Cars/Pictures-c7377-pi9409642-1981-626.html#pi6932070
